Mile High Card Company is an auction house for vintage cards. What it costs to consign, when you are paid, the deadlines, and who to ask for.
In short. Mile High Card Company adds a 22% buyer’s premium to the hammer price. The seller’s commission is not published — it is negotiated per consignment. Sellers are paid 45 days after the sale. The smallest lot it takes is $500.
No house pays to appear here or to appear higher.
What follows is what Mile High Card Company publishes, or has told us directly, with the date we last checked.
It is not a recommendation, and nothing here is a view on what your cards are worth.
We also buy cards ourselves; that has no bearing on anything written here.
